this is my code, but dont know why its returning null? however i can put a null check here, but is there anything wrong?
TextView descriptiontv = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.descriptiontv);
TextView tc = new TextView(c);
final PopupWindow windowPopUp = new PopupWindow(tc,LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT,LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT ,false);
tc.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.bg_training_baloon_hc_2x);
tc.setText("this is a demo test to check how it looks, i m just wanting to test whether it works or not");
tc.setPadding(20, 20, 20, 20);
LinearLayout.LayoutParams params = new android.widget.LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
params.setMargins(30, 0, 30, 0);
tc.setLayoutParams(params);
Based on my experience, you have to add the view to its parent view first before you can set the layout parameters for it, like so:
TextView calendarYear = new TextView(getActivity());
calendarYear.setText(calendar.getYear() + "");
calendarYear.setTextSize(20);
calendarYear.setTypeface(null, Typeface.BOLD);
calendarYear.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER);
calendarYear.setTextColor(resources.getColor(android.R.color.black));
calendarItemsLinearLayout.addView(calendarYear);
// We have to add the TextView to the layout first before we
// can set the layout margins for it
ViewGroup.LayoutParams layoutParams = calendarYear.getLayoutParams();
((LinearLayout.LayoutParams)layoutParams).setMargins(0, (int)(16 * density), 0, 0);
calendarYear.setLayoutParams(layoutParams);
Here
tc.getLayoutParams()
you haven't given it any params yet so it will return null. Maybe you meant
descriptiontv.getLayoutParams()
Edit
Try changing
params.leftMargin = 30;
params.rightMargin = 30;
to
params.setMargins(30, 0, 30, 0);
And change
LinearLayout.LayoutParams params = (android.widget.LinearLayout.LayoutParams)tc.getLayoutParams();
to
LinearLayout.LayoutParams params = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);

I am adding some View to the LinearLayout dynamically:
LinearLayout.LayoutParams params = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
params.setMargins(100, 100, 100, 100);
view.setLayoutParams(params);
parent.addView(view);
However, the margins are not getting applied. The following:
view.invalidate();
view.requestLayout();
parent.invalidate();
parent.requestLayout();
didn't work. However, if I force the activity to recreate (e.g. turn off and on my mobile phone), the margins get applied. Calling activity.recreate() also works, but it's too slow.
How to force layout to recalculate margins? Probably, there's something wrong in the flow? I tried to add my views to the root after creation, add children before and after applying properties, but this didn't work for me.
UPD:
I tried to repeat the bug programmatically and got it with this code:
LinearLayout base = new LinearLayout(context);
LayoutParams params1 = new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT);
base.setLayoutParams(params1);
base.setBackgroundColor(Color.CYAN);
root.addView(base);
LinearLayout another1 = new LinearLayout(context);
LayoutParams params2 = new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT);
another1.setLayoutParams(params2);
another1.setOrientation(LinearLayout.VERTICAL);
another1.setBackgroundColor(Color.BLUE);
base.addView(another1);
TextView tv1 = new TextView(context);
tv1.setText("SOME TEST TEXT 1");
tv1.setTextColor(Color.BLACK);
LayoutParams params4 = new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
params4.setMargins(100, 100, 100, 100);
tv1.setLayoutParams(params4);
another1.addView(tv1);
TextView tv2 = new TextView(context);
tv2.setText("SOME TEST TEXT 2");
tv2.setTextColor(Color.BLACK);
LayoutParams params5 = new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
params4.setMargins(100, 100, 100, 100);
tv2.setLayoutParams(params5);
another1.addView(tv2);
I expect margins to be applied, but they are not. What is the correct order of initializing such a view?
So, my trouble was in DP to PX converter that just wasn't initialized at that moment. However, to clarify everything, my example above is just an error (I didn't change params4 to params5 when adding the second TextView.
Also while testing everything, I found out that the order of adding layouts and their parameters doesn't matter at all.
You probably added child views to the parent view in onCreate().
In onCreate(), parent view does not have actual size.
If you have to do it in onCreate(), try following code.
final ViewTreeObserver observer = parent.getViewTreeObserver();
observer.addOnGlobalLayoutListener(new ViewTreeObserver.OnGlobalLayoutListener() {
#Override
public void onGlobalLayout() {
LinearLayout.LayoutParams params = new
LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,
LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
params.setMargins(100, 100, 100, 100);
TextView view = new TextView(context);
view.setLayoutParams(params);
parent.addView(view);
observer.removeOnGlobalLayoutListener(this);
}
};
Hope this will help!
Try this:
LinearLayout ll = findViewById(R.id.linearLayout);
LinearLayout.LayoutParams layoutParams = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(
LinearLayout.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT,
LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
layoutParams.setMargins(30,20,30,0);
Hope this will help!
I need dynamic create the texview, it works just the text content show VERTICAL but HORIZONTAL
TextView tv = new TextView(this.theContext);
tv.setText(this.getTip(0));
tv.setBackgroundColor(Color.BLUE);
tv.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER_HORIZONTAL);
tv.setLayoutDirection(View.LAYOUT_DIRECTION_LTR);
LinearLayout.LayoutParams params =
new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
params.setMargins(0, 0, 0, 0);
params.gravity = Gravity.CENTER;
this.addView(tv, params);
mLeftLabel = tv;
also, I set the layout :
tv.layout(l,t,r,b); . but I think that this statement should not effect the text Direction, is it right ?
please give help or tip, thanks.
try to follow the example below:
TextView tv = new TextView(this);
tv.setText("text");
LinearLayout.LayoutParams params =
new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
params.setMargins(0, 0, 0, 0);
params.gravity = Gravity.CENTER;
mainLayout.addView(tv, params);
try changing LayoutParams as
LinearLayout.LayoutParams params = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LinearLayout.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
setting gravity to center when you are using WRAP_CONTENT for textview does not seem to make sense, though I am not sure.
How to set margin in relative layout with code (not XML)?
I use this code but nothing happened:
RelativeLayout rlDetail = new RelativeLayout(context);
rlDetail.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.bg_round);
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams rlDetailParams = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
rlDetailParams.setMargins(35, 10, 35, 0);
rlDetail.setLayoutParams(rlDetailParams);
try this answer set the absolute position of a view in Android
as mentioned in the link above you should use
TextView tv1 = new TextView(context);
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams params = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(30, 40);
params.leftMargin = needed_margin;
params.topMargin = needed_margin;
// add your textview like this
rl.addView(tv1, params);
If I use xml file I have a option called layout_margin (for example layout_margin ="1dp" for text view ) but I want to set programmatically and I dont know how to do it.
LinearLayout.LayoutParams params = (LinearLayout.LayoutParams)textview.getLayoutParams();
params.setMargins(20, 0, 0, 0);
textview.setLayoutParams(params);
Please Google before adding your question to StackOverflow.
TextView tv = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.my_text_view);
LinearLayout.LayoutParams params = (LinearLayout.LayoutParams)tv.getLayoutParams();
params.setMargins(0, 0, 10, 0); //substitute parameters for left, top, right, bottom
tv.setLayoutParams(params);
Note, that not all LayoutParams has method setMargins();
RelativeLayout, LinearLayout etc has their own inner class LayoutParams, so availability of setMargins is not always available.
You can do by this:
TextView text = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.text);
LinearLayout.LayoutParams params= new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
params.setMargins(left, top, right, bottom);//pass int values for left,top,right,bottom
text.setLayoutParams(params);
TextView tv = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.tvId);
LinearLayout.LayoutParams llp = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
llp.setMargins(50, 0, 0, 0); // llp.setMargins(left, top, right, bottom);
tv.setLayoutParams(llp);
Try This: It worked...
LinearLayout.LayoutParams params = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(
LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,
LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT
);
params.setMargins(0, 10, 0, 0);
firstName.setLayoutParams(params);
You can use the setMargins() on the LinearLayout.LayoutParams. See the answer of this StackOverflow question for more information.
TextView tv = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.item_title));
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams mRelativelp = (RelativeLayout.LayoutParams) tv
.getLayoutParams();
mRelativelp.setMargins(DptoPxConvertion(15), 0, DptoPxConvertion (15), 0);
tv.setLayoutParams(mRelativelp);
private int DptoPxConvertion(int dpValue)
{
return (int)((dpValue * mContext.getResources().getDisplayMetrics().density) + 0.5);
}
getLayoutParams() of textview should be casted to the corresponding Params based on the Parent of the textview in xml.
<RelativeLayout>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/item_title">
</RelativeLayout>
If parent of the TextView is RelativeLayout means, then RelativeLayout.LayoutParams as above. If parent is LinearLayout means then
LinearLayout.LayoutParams mLinearlp = (LinearLayout.LayoutParams) tv
.getLayoutParams();
To render the same real size on different devices use DptoPxConvertion() method which I have used above. setMargin(left,top,right,bottom) params will take values in pixel not in dp.
I putting an in-game chat module into an app. I am adding text messages as they are received into a LinearLayout view. I want to set the layout params to the TextView but the following code is crashing and the error messages befuddle me.
private void addChat(String chat, String when, Boolean mine) {
int leftMargin;
TextView tv = new TextView(this);
llview.addView(tv);
tv.setTextColor(Color.WHITE);
tv.setTextSize(2,25);
tv.setText(chat);
if (mine) {
leftMargin = 5;
tv.setBackgroundColor(0x7C5B77);
}
else {
leftMargin = 50;
tv.setBackgroundColor(0x778F6E);
}
final ViewGroup.MarginLayoutParams lpt =(MarginLayoutParams)tv.getLayoutParams();
lpt.setMargins(leftMargin,lpt.topMargin,lpt.rightMargin,lpt.bottomMargin);
tv.setLayoutParams(new ViewGroup.LayoutParams(
ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,
ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
}
when it runs, all of the above code executes but it crashes in android runtime as:
03-13 14:15:38.513: E/AndroidRuntime(12985): java.lang.ClassCastException: android.view.ViewGroup$LayoutParams
and stepping through with the debugger, it actually processes all of these lines
but then barfs when trying to render with an equally cryptic exception detailed message:
android.view.ViewGroup$LayoutParams
So, what have done to get to this state? What should I be doing to have alternating left/right indented messages ?
Just replace from bottom and add this
tv.setLayoutParams(new ViewGroup.LayoutParams(
ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,
ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
before
llview.addView(tv);
after creating the view we have to add layout parameters .
change like this
TextView tv = new TextView(this);
tv.setLayoutParams(new ViewGroup.LayoutParams(
ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,
ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
llview.addView(tv);
tv.setTextColor(Color.WHITE);
tv.setTextSize(2,25);
tv.setText(chat);
if (mine) {
leftMargin = 5;
tv.setBackgroundColor(0x7C5B77);
}
else {
leftMargin = 50;
tv.setBackgroundColor(0x778F6E);
}
final ViewGroup.MarginLayoutParams lpt =(MarginLayoutParams)tv.getLayoutParams();
lpt.setMargins(leftMargin,lpt.topMargin,lpt.rightMargin,lpt.bottomMargin);
LinearLayout.LayoutParams param = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(
/*width*/ ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT,
/*height*/ ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT,
/*weight*/ 1.0f
);
YOUR_VIEW.setLayoutParams(param);
int dp1 = (int) TypedValue.applyDimension(TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_DIP, 1,
context.getResources().getDisplayMetrics());
tv.setLayoutParams(new ViewGroup.LayoutParams(
ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,
dp1 * 100)); // if you want to set layout height to 100dp
llview.addView(tv);
For Xamarin Android
align to the left of an object
int dp24 = (int)TypedValue.ApplyDimension( ComplexUnitType.Dip, 24, Resources.System.DisplayMetrics );
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams lp = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams( dp24, dp24 );
lp.AddRule( LayoutRules.CenterInParent, 1 );
lp.AddRule( LayoutRules.LeftOf, //Id of the field Eg m_Button.Id );
m_Button.LayoutParameters = lp;
